@itsJayden461 bit of both but by the time I took the motor out it was more so coolant lmao

@@dieselnation555 LOL

@Derek-C mine is basically all stock, too. i do have a balanced crank but no fluidampner or billet crank pulley. Motor has a fresh set of connecting rod bearings and timing chain with new push rods and cylinders honed, deck and cylinder heads resurfaced aside from that the motor is left stock crossing my fingers to pass 500hp lmao

@@dieselnation555 yeah it’s fairly surprising how much the stock bottom ends hold when they are balanced and I haven’t really heard much about rod failure but I guess those are forged and nobody has taken them to the limit, Usually it’s like the crank or bearings that go out if anything, or cracked pistons

@Derek-C very true I've cracked 5 pistons so far. I'm crossing my fingers everything else acts happy with everything I'm gonna throw at it. I literally have a optimizer on stand by for the occasion lol

@@dieselnation555 what causes the pistons to crack on these? Is it just bad design? too much compression? or heat and maybe too much fuel or a combination of it all?

@Derek-C heat mainly

Just spent 1500 on 2 from dieselpumpUK for the twin turbo set up they better do their job and do it good lmao

After some more modifications I get 25psi with the twins now. once the 180cc pump arrives and the next load of parts get put on I may see 35-40psi but the poor 6.5 will die catastrophically after that lmao

Check to see if the pmd Is relocated, check the oil cooler lines, check the front end for play cause the ball joints wear out quick and tie rods other than that I got a video I made a couple years ago you can check out on this channel for more info before you buy the truck

@@dieselnation555 will do! Thanks for the advice 👍

@@stormbreaker3027 anytime man

@@moondogdieselworks3883 better than your 6.5

@@dieselnation555 mine is a boat anchor. Cummins, less work WAY more power. Sorry buddy

@moondogdieselworks3883 can't compare a 6.5 to any decently modded cummins sorry not sorry

Check the reels man I got a few good ones lol

I am indeed

@@dieselnation555 lol thought so wondered how you sounded so irish yet so north american at the same time

@keegyweegy7803 I try not to go over board with it on KZbin lol I can get pretty bad with it at times

Plus my oil cooler lines are now metal integrated hydraulic lines.

Is it a van by any chance?

Thanks for helping push my videos in the KZbin algorithm lmao womp womp 🤣🤣🤣

@@dieselnation555 uh oh did Cracker Barrel get mad 😂😂😂 stay mad with yo dumass videos

@@dieselnation555 uh oh did I make Cracker Barrel mad 🤭 and oh no 2 more views on some car freak’s video what will I ever do 😭😭

Nice move liking your own comment lmao if thats what you consider "mad" your delusional but i didnt have high expectations from you to say the least😂😂😂 you could start by getting a life but thats also out of your realm keep trying man maybe one of these day's youll succeed ​@AkranAkrin

Yup although uncommon it is a true way to increase horsepower

I live right on the coast it has its ups and downs thats for sure lol

Pretty much no such thing for 6.5s only different nozzle pressure

I just got my cross over pipe fixed! New Mechanic told me he did a 6.5 a few years back and the client also has a 6.6 duramax and after he installed the aftermarket oversized injectors the farmer told him the 6.5 was out pulling the 6.6 he has so I told him to find them for me, and he said they were around 160.00 a piece, cheap

@jeffdelorey1981 "over sized" injectors don't exist. It's basically just different pop pressure these diesels aren't like the cummins powerstroke or duramax

I watched guys mechanics that it you use marine injectors it'll create 25 extra horses not alot but better for sure!!

🙏

🤮

@redpi22 sorry frenchie

What cam is it

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIPak4Jom555bJofeature=shared its all in this video lol

Yes it wouldn't be hard at all and it would be way more responsive than the twins I got depending on your turbo set up atleast and the only down side is shell eat the boost then the rods I figure lol

What turbos would i use for that possible compound setup

I highly recommend it lol and I got my db2 pump turned up and timed to its max plus In this video she had 2 blown head gaskets lol

Hx35 so 52mm compressor wheels and 9cm exhaust housings

There's also a video with the full build list

@@dieselnation555 Cool man will have to watch that

Can't put everything in one video gotta save some for a part 2 list lol but yes precups are a Performance upgrade. I do have the cross over deleted and my truck is a true dual configuration for the exhaust it's much handier than single pipe because you can find out engine malfunctions super fast. As for the harmonic balancer and crank shaft that's a bullet proofing upgrade it won't get you more horsepower but it'll let you make more power reliably. Stock water pump are fine and fan and radiator upgrade are a waste of money I've tried everything except the radiator and none of it works there's 2 simple cooling upgrades that cost approximately 100 bucks combined and it works worlds better than anything quadstar or any other site sells. Other wise the timing gears isn't worth the money for its extra "reliability" if it didn't cost a arm and a leg I'd include it in the lists to come but honestly it's far to expensive for the reliability you gain

@@dieselnation555Oh, so you do run dual exhaust. Sweet! So you're basically saying that installing an intercooler is the best thing you can do for better thermals? But is that the only things that makes a difference? I just find it hard to believe that an engine that is prone to overheating from factory only benefits from adding an intercooler and nothing else needs improvement. At least others on YT have reported improvements with upgrading radiator and water pump. Maybe the pump only makes sense if you also upgrade the radiator. Or maybe their stock pump was just going bad. I'm curious, how does running a twin turbo/exhaust setup affect thermals for you? Is there any difference?

@Arexodius yessir and intercooler is pretty good but combine it with methanol injection and you get power and even lower iat and egt's. But no you can't buy a intercooler set up for less than 100 bucks lol I'm talking about the reducer fitting for the water pump from the coolant crossover pipe and making a rear coolant cross over pipe those 2 upgrades alone will keep your 6.5 cooler than it actually needs to be 100% and combined those 2 upgrades are less than 100 bucks. I've used the water pump and fan and clutch upgrade the truck couldn't haul itself up hill without over heating lol I never tried the radiator but I know people from the Facebook groups who've done all the quadstar upgrades and still have over heating issues so they spent over 1000 bucks for basically no good reason. And I've ran single turbo trucks with stock turbos and after marker turbos both of those trucks would get up to 1200°c super fast the twin turbo set up has only seen 750°c at wide open throttle going 190kmh giving her all she had to offer. Performance wise twin turbos are the best set up you can currently make yourself. Also the turbos only do half the work for the same amount of performance only thing is with mine having large turbos it suffers on the lower end power until it builds boost that is lol

​@@dieselnation555Thanks for the advice! I'll have to look into that. I saw a video with www.youtube.com/@shawnsgarage where he explains how he routed cooling lines to the back of the engine. Seemed like a neat setup. Cortland from GSC also suggested doing that. When it comes to water meth I'm a bit apprehensive. I get how it helps a lot on several fronts, but I'm also hearing about increased risk of corrosion on the inside of the engine, the last place you want corrosion. If there is any truth to that whatsoever, I'm not sure it's something I'd wanna invest in despite the advantages. Unless these kits allow you to postpone any injection until everything is a bit warmer and then shut off the injection at least a couple of seconds before engine shut down to keep any residual moisture out of the internals, since steel and moisture in normal outside temps is a perfect recipe for corrosion. IDK. Someone said the nozzle placement played a role in how much corrosion you may or may not see. Seems like a great idea if it weren't for that whole deal. No engine lasts forever, but I'd sure like to come as close as possible.

Did you change your video quality lol

I know what epic quality looks like because i've played this game @@dieselnation555

It is a db2 lol fuel screw is turned up and pump is timed so technically a "tune" 🤣

@@dieselnation555 yeah I was kinda thinking it was timed up I just didn’t know they could lope like that

@Derek-C she actually gets worse/better than that depending on how cold it is lol next injection pump should be even better yet

@@dieselnation555 you getting that big 220 cc or whatever it is rated for 700 horse?

@Derek-C sadly no I gotta settle for a 140 for now lmao but with Rev limiter set to 5k rpms peak output with methanol should be around 500 horses so it'll do for now and I'm aiming for a transmission upgrade over the big bore pump it'll help with turbo lag big time

That's the exact pump I'm using and relay harness as well but I got the quadstar filter relocation kit running whatever filter they send with it lol and I finally got a set of glow shift gauges I'm much happier with them lol and 14psi with a hx35 is perfect and intercooling it is a great idea big time. Tuning wise quadstar is the only way to go and yessir my original exhaust set up was a custom 4"down pipe and 4" straight pipe it sounded better than a super60 and much cheaper lol
